Tens of thousands of people woke up today without power after a major winter storm hit large parts of the United States, from the south to the far northeast.
Up to 18 inches of snow and ice covered parts of New York state, Vermont, Indiana and Maine this morning, the National Weather Service said in a tweet.
Through a bulletin, he warned today that “extremely cold temperatures will spread through an area from the southern plains to the Ohio Valley and the Northeast.”
Some 87,444 households were still without power this morning in Tennessee, while nearly 56,000 woke up in the dark in New York state, according to poweroutage.us.
